Metal Detecting Gold! Plus Strange Hot Rock or Meteorite? Water Hunt With Garrett AT Pro Detector

[@theCodyReeder]

Looked like a hunk of magnetite. if so it would give a signal but only in a large piece so it make sense that the signal would go away when its broke. 2 tests to be sure: will it stick to a magnet (magnetite is very magnetic) and scratch it on a piece of unglazed porcelain magnetite will leave a black streak.

The "Hot Rock" is the carbon rod out of a Edison Battery. They needed to be changed from time to time, so there were a lot more rods than batteries.

There's gold in them thar hills!!! Beautiful scenery, reminds me of home. Congrats on the ring Rusty, great find and not a bad ring to pull tab ratio.

[@cutaplug]

Hillbilly fromWV Thank! The river is really pretty clean so not too much junk. There was a river back in MO and people partied hard there, it was thick with pulltabs lol.

[@SmellsLikeSilver]

Looks like a good time Rusty...Congratulations.

[@cutaplug]

Smells Like Silver Thanks Gregg!

[@AmericanCoinHunting]

Cool and interesting video Rusty . Congrats on that Gold ring find .

[@cutaplug]

***** Thanks Dave!

[@malbrech1]

That oblong rock looking piece looks to me like part of a cell from an old battery. Just rounded and smoothed from rolling around in the river. Nice video. GL & HH

[@WildDigger]

Awesome ring Rusty. Congrats. I need to hit some of the tubing rivers in the mountains. GL&HH

[@cutaplug]

WildDigger Thanks Matt =) The scenery is worth it even if there aren't any good finds really.

[@MetalnMatt]

Congrats in the gold ring!!!

[@cutaplug]

MetalDetectorMatt68 Thanks Matt!

[@williammcquiston2820]

[@cutaplug]

JD's Variety Channel Thanks JD!

[@DetectingtheBurgh]

Very nice recovery of the Gold Ring. I'm headed for Gaitlinburg at the end of August for a little vacationing and water hunts (now that I've seen this). Nice video Rusty.

[@cutaplug]

DetectingtheBurgh If you wanna go to the river and feel like driving down this way I'd be happy to take you along if I'm not too busy. I think we have a lot of family visiting in August but we'll see =)

[@MichaelSwan66]

great hunt sweet gold find

[@cutaplug]

MichaelSwan66 Thanks Michael!

[@stefanrdetecting8411]

Very nice gold find! That is the wierdest rock. Cracked it and the signal was gone? Hmm.. GLHH!

[@49erdigging]

Nice find!!!!!

[@cutaplug]

49erdigging Thanks!

[@tennesseegem1063]

That strange rock was an alien turd. you never know what they have been eating. Great find on that circle of love.

[@LarsonFamilyFarm-LLC]

That "rock" looks like an old battery carbon rod (center of dry cell) that has worn smooth in the river bed...it might have had enough carbon minerals to set off the detector...but once you broke it it became too wide to sense- or rather less dense.

[@cutaplug]

Accuracy Marked That makes sense thanks for the input =)

[@Detecting207]

Sweet ring man! That rock looking thing was pretty strange haha! Take care, GL&HH!

[@cutaplug]

Detecting207 Thanks GL and HH to you too!

[@forreststinnett4123]

Good hunt congrats on the gold ring. GL & HH

[@cutaplug]

forest stinnett Thanks Forest =)

[@jaswas77]

My buddy took me to Sliding Rock in the Pisgah National forest (I think). There was a pool that you slid lid into and fish were looking at you. Nice country out there.

[@cutaplug]

jaswas77 Haven't been over that way yet but I bet it's beautiful =)

[@sirdigs-a-lot3889]

Congrats on your ring find. The rock looks like magnetite. Sold in a lot of gift shops. Not 100% but still a cool find.

[@brewster102]

Sweet ring--that rock was very interesting, I would have left it in one piece though

[@cutaplug]

brewster102 Thanks! haha we thought there was something inside or we would have left it in one piece lol

[@joebelin5383]

Dang sweet ring bud. Hope im as fortunate in August. Taking the Excallibur to North Carolina.

[@cutaplug]

Detecting The South Thanks and good luck on your trip!

[@HobbyCache]

Find out the take out spots and go up stream. When people start paddling to the bank or trying to aviod a island or tree branch or rock that's where I have had my luck. Fantastic video and nice 14k. Take care Cutaplug

[@cutaplug]

wooleyk1 Great tips thanks so much for sharing! I've hunted freshwater swim holes a lot but just getting acquainted with tubing river lol. I'll keep what you said in mind on my next trip to the river =)

[@marcomosna6261]

Oh no!!! Alein rock!!!!

[@thatsmallrockshop]

Your alien rock is deffinatly a rod from an old battery its just water worn a bit.

[@Ozarkshunter]

It looks like a carbon rod out of a battery that has been water worn.

[@mathewstumpf3744]

+Ozarkshunter more likely a cow magnet. they feed them to cows to pick up the iron in their stomachs. when a ceramic magnet is smashed it looses all magnetic properties

[@Xride5256X]

you guys killed that poor alien rock

[@cutaplug]

+Antonio cruz I know I know... =)

[@rollinstoned0]

Sweeet!

[@EpicSprint]

That's probably someone's wedding ring.

[@balconee5149]

[@jenncast3551]
